FanDuel has omitted the 12pm window games on this heavy Wednesday afternoon to start the season.   WEATHER Angels at Cubs:  Chilly.  Very Chilly Chance of storms but all games should play in Cincy & Philly   I am not one for writing up more than 3 pitchers, but today — I feel I have too.   KEVIN GAUSMAN (DK: $9000, FD: $9800) Must be amazing as a pitcher to start with the Athletics and then the Rockies.  The wonders that this will do for Gausman’s stats and his pricing in a couple weeks when he’s surely gonna flop as chalk.  But for now, you just stare that gift horse and the face and take your chances. JACOB MISIOROWSKI (DK: $8500, FD: $9200) The second inning is the key spot with the likely Tampa lineup having Mullins/Simpson going 5-6 today.  They don’t project to strikeout but after that the turn around on the lineup to get back to the top of the lineup is going to be where you just hear the K bells ringing.  For the props crowd, jump on his over 6.5 strikeouts today. MATTHEW BOYD (DK: $7300, FD: $7400) Another chilly day up Wrigley this afternoon, but no reason for those in Chicago to not take the afternoon off and still go out for the game.  If they’re going, they should see two lefties facing off and one of them is a heavy fly ball guy — yeah, we’re not using Kikuchi even in the chilly temps.  Boyd, however, is squarely on my target list today while others are scared off from his Nationals debacle on Opening Day.  Bank on a limited number of base runners from the Angels & a clean game here. CHRIS SALE (DK: $9900) Naturally the Athletics have sat their lefties, which is good yes, and even better when you see that means Andy Ibanez is the 2 hole threat to Sale.  There is … no threat here folks although Wilson/Ibanez are both lower on the strikeout potential than what we normally would see for the Athletics lineup at the top.   Happy mini stack Wednesday.  A heavy amount of the top end pitchers are going today, cooler temps in some spots & just a general lack of heavy belief that we see high scoring spots today.  I would limit exposures to 2 to 3 players per team and srpead it out today…...
